Dear 5R,
I came across a very interesting article from the BBC website.
When I was much younger (I am still young by the way), I used to have a walkman. It was really portable music then.
Please read the article and share with the class your comments on the article.
Do you think the walkman or ipod / the modern mp3 player rules? Why?

The Ipod was really large!!I think that the modern Mp3 player rocks because it is small and light unlike the old ipod which is bulky and most likely very heavy. It will always be part of music history even if it is replaced by another type of Mp3 player.
Wow!!!!The Walkman is BIG.I would rather choose an I Pod/MP3 player than a Walkman
The iPod/Modern mp3 player wins because of many reasons:
Shuffling, Small size, Big memory and quality sound... I would like to try the walkman but I would NOT want to buy one...
I would prefer the ipod / mp3 player because it is very light and portable compared to the walkman , some people might think you are on a mission and the walkman would be a walky talky . ipod comes in multiple colours whereas the walkman is greyish( from the text ) ...
wow the walkman phone is very large imagine carrying the walkman around ... it will definitely attract attention.luckly now technology is more advanced
That Walkman is way big and I mean WAY WAY BIG ! I would have chosen an Ipod or a mp3 player.
i think that older sony walkman looks much older than 30years .it looks quite uncommon .maybe because people who used to own it sold it away for money to buy the latest one a few years after it went into the market,then the money they had was used to buy a smaller,more colourful and cooler ipod or walkman and it ended up in the bin.it must be an antique.
the walkman was big... the modern mp3 player or iPod is better... the old walkman phone is big, the colour is grey [EWWWW]. i would have chose the iPod/MP3, but the old walkman phone looks old and quite antique and must be worth a lot of money... so i would chose the walkman over the ipod/mp3...
WHY IS THE WALKMAN NAMED THE WALKMAN? IS IT A MAN WHO WALKED INVENTED THE WALKMAN? =P
i just care about how the music will sound other than that nothing much to say as there is so much stuff debate about this.
wow!wonder if my mother took this walkman.so huge!so lucky that i am not born that time as i will not be taking such huge walkman.
mp3 rule because its very small
I would not perfer to have that BIG Walkman.Altought walkman is design to be waling while listening to music but it look werid putting on it.
So i perfer have a IPOD or MP3.It is small and good unlike the BIG Walkman...
i have ipod,mp3 and mp4 but i dun have the old fashion walkman
I think that the IPOD is larger and heavier but mp3 is smaller and portable.If the IPOD is in your pocket, a lump in your pocket might make people think you are the 'suspicious looking' person carrying a 'portable bomb' as technology is very advanced nowadays.
I prefer ipod / the modern mp3 than a walkman as a walkman would attract unwanted attention.
The Walkman has its own advantages and disadvantages. The Walkman may not be easy to lose as it is big but it will look ugly if you clip it on your pants especially with the new fashion. I still think the mp3 is better.
I would rather choose the ipod / mp3 player as it is light and small unlike the Walkman, it looks quite big. They are easy to carry around too, but the Walkman looks like it will make your pants drop down or something. The ipod / mp3 player also comes in different colours unlike the Walkman which is a dull greyish colour. XD
I think the Ipod/MP3 Player rules because its much more smaller than a walkman. Whats more, the Ipod/MP3 Player has more functions than a walkman. So I think that Ipod/MP3 Player rules!
I wold prefer the mp3 or ipod as they are portable wherelse the walkman is huge and it is only grey in colour.
The MP3 rules because it is not only light and small but it also have lots of functions.
I would like to try using a ipod. And there is a new generation of mp3 which is the mp4.
Ipod/MP3 Player rules as it is very small and convenient,it also can stored more songs than the walkman.
I think the Ipod and the mp3 player rule.The walkman is too big and the Ipod and the mp3 player is sure lighter than it.
I prefer Ipod and MP3 Player as it is cool and modern and they also have many colours mostly it is SMALL but easy to lose. =D
I knew quite alot more about Ipod,MP3 or walkman maybe i should decide on buying one.i think that both are usesable so why bother in saying which one rules?
Wow!The ipod is so big!I wonder if I was there wearing that ig ipod.I would be the laughing stock!
I think all of them are good as they have their own functions.It is only what we choose.
ipod / the modern mp3 player rules because the flying tapes can cause eye injuries or maybe other parts of the BODY.
mp3 player rules! The Walkman looks a bit interesting and I would also like to try it!
Walkman is Sony's portable audio cassette player brand, now used to market its portable audio and video players. The original Walkman introduced a change in music listening habits, allowing people to carry their own choice of music with them.
The device was built in 1978 by audio division engineer Nobutoshi Kihara for Sony co-chairman Morita, who wanted to be able to listen to operas during his frequent transpacific plane trips.[1] The original Walkman was marketed in 1979 as the Walkman in Japan, the Soundabout in many other countries including the US, Freestyle in Sweden and the Stowaway in the UK. [2] Morita hated the name "Walkman" and asked it to be changed, but relented after being told by junior executives that a promotion campaign had already begun using the 'Walkman' name and would be too expensive to change.[1]
The names "Walkman", "Pressman", "Watchman", "Scoopman", "Discman", and "Talkman" are trademarks of Sony, and have been applied to a wide range of portable entertainment devices manufactured by the company. Sony continues to use the "Walkman" brand name for most of their portable audio devices, after the "Discman" name for CD players was dropped in the late 1990s. According to Sony, the plural form is "Walkman Personal Stereos", rather than "Walkmans" or "Walkmen" (presumably to preserve their trademark on "Walkman").[3]
In March 2007, Sony extended the Video Walkman brand by launching its first digital, flash-based video Walkman, the A800 series, where A stands for "All in one", "Advanced", and "Attractive". [4]
oops, i forgotten to include where i took this information from. It was taken from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman
I prefer a iPod/MP3 Player to a Walkman. It has a larger memory and its very easy to carry around. Walkman sound quality is not that good and all the potential things I want my iPod/MP3 player is for it to be light, good audio, small and easy to carry around. However, i prefer an iPod to a MP3 player as MP3 players are not that advance as iPods.
Wow!The walkman was realllllllllly big.If I would like to choose,I would prefer the MP3 to the walkman.If you go out carrying a walkman,and you are quite skinny,I think you will be quite tired.
HEHEHE!!!
I think that the iPod/Modern Mp3 player rules. It is small, light and portable. It also has more and better functions like shuffling and better sound quality.
I think the walkman is not a bad thing.just able to hear the music can already.
I think that at different points of time, each will have their own strength. Take the old walkman for example, i believe at that point of time, it was considered very good. But if you want to compare to the current ipod,it will definitely lose out. We can't compare 2 things that are from different times as the technologies are different.
I would like to try out the walkman to let me have a taste of something old from the past. Younger generations tend to choose something smaller and much more colourful because they can keep it easily and bring it almost anywhere. If it is the walkman, it will stand out in the crowd because of its size. Children are lazy nowadays,if there is something smaller, much more convenient,lighter ,has bright colours and even has games,they will surely choose it. We are fortunate to live at this point of time to enjoy better technology than our parents. I believe that technology has no boundaries, our future generations will definitely enjoy something better than us as technology improves.
I think that the ipod is small and fashionable.It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay(do not know how many 'way',should be more 'way' than that )better than walkman.I think that the walkman looks like a broadband like mio.It looks like stupid piece of junk.
I think the IPOD is better the walkman as it portable while the walkman is way big!!!The IPOD has many features which the walkman does not have.There is one good point about the walkman:it is big and not easy to lose.
Ipod is better as it has more features and is esay to use.
